Is this a European thing? I first heard of this when I left the States and lived in Germany for 5 months. After 8 weeks, I got a letter in the mail written in German which I could not read and took it to the school office.
Turns out it was some 100 Euro TV fee no one had told us about. None of us had a TV or had been told about this prior to arriving. I told them they could take their fee and stick it where the Sun don't shine.
I didn't pay it and none of the other Americans did either. Who ever heard of such a thing? Unbelievable...
I don't know tbh.Haven't heard of any similar cases in the US so it could be the case that it's EU only. But I'm not sure.
